A yellow high-visibility waistcoat, listed to EN 471 class 2 and CE marked. EN 471 has been replaced by EN ISO 20471, so check the current marking before you describe it.

How to use it

You put the yellow waistcoat on over your outer clothes so drivers can see you on a road or at a clean-up.

  1. Unfold the vest and check it is clean and the fastener works.
  2. Put it on over your top layer, not under a coat.
  3. Fasten the front closure so the vest sits flat on your chest.
  4. Make sure the reflective strips are not covered by a bag or straps.
  5. Walk facing traffic where possible and keep as far from vehicles as you can.
  6. Take it off, shake it out and store it in the glovebox.
Tips
  • Keep one in the car, since the listing is size XL; check it fits you.
  • Wash it by the care label, because dirt reduces visibility.
  • The marking quoted is EN 471; check the vest's own label for the current standard.
Safety and limits
  • It makes you more visible but does not make a road safe. On a motorway, leave the vehicle and wait well away from traffic.
  • It does not protect against traffic or fire. Do not wear it near flames.
Please note
  • Check the current EN ISO 20471 marking
  • Does not make you invulnerable to traffic
